I got my bugs and put them on my indoor hydroponic garden. It was in the evening and by morning they were dead. What did I do wrong?
215
too many question here like temp chemical .you,lll have to provide more detailed info and did you provide food and water source just in case they needed it.sorry but more detail is needed
216
What's the average temp/humidity in there? Was there any food (ie aphids or "ladybug nectar")?
217
Are your bulbs exposed? The first time I bought ladybugs, I didn't realize they'd fly up to the lights and fry themselves...

I don't know exactly what you did wrong but some advice I can give you is the room temperature needs to be between 70 and 90 degrees and your lady bugs will thrive I put mine in my hydroponic garden and almost 3 months later I still have ladybug and new baby ladybugs...awesome way to control spider mites and other soft insects

mine did not grow they died a waste of money although he really liked them. he will just have to wait for silk worm season and eat roaches and king worms in the meantime he also likes apples. The hornworms were too small and they smelled awfull.

Not a single one of the seeds grew for me, I researched how to grow them online. I soaked them in warm water over night before planting then used a covered seed starter and kept it in sunlight indoors for weeks. Dug up a few, not even a root. So assuming you can even get them to grow at all, who knows?

I'm sorry, I bought ladybugs for my snowball bush. They took care of the aphids and then left. Best of luck getting rid of the ones you don't want.Anne

I don't know because I'm in zone 6. Also mine are looking dead in the winter I don't even know they will be alive in spring or not.

Are you sure the grubs in your compost are Japanese Beetle larvae? It sound like you have black soldier fly larvae, which are beneficial to your compost. If you can take a picture and send it to me, or do a google search, you can find out. Good Luck

Didn't do anPything other than apply as directed. Great stuff. We had a moderate infestation but not now. Put it out in all the spots where we had seen roachs. Within a day or so they were dying. Within a week all the big ones had died. Then for the next week or so we say numerous little ones that had hatched. Then they started dying off. Now a couple months later it is rare to see a roach. However I do intend to re-apply in all the places I had before. I will say this, in my 73 years this is absolutely the best roach killing product I have ever used. Use it as directed and it should work for you. It did for me. David Didn't do anPything other than apply as directed. Great stuff. We had a moderate infestation but not now.

Full to partial sun OUTSIDE in the garden. I found that growing indoors under plant grow lights was not enough and the plants died.

The dead bugs either stick to the killing screen, or drop to the little metal tray, below. It killed many gnats, the first day. I haven't heard any sound, as the unit is on my enclosed patio.

I recommend Miracle Grow potting soil. I fill the wick columns with Miracle Grow, then I place about 1" to 1 1/2" of Miracle Grow over the rest of the Grow Box. I add a 1 1/2" layer of Black Gold (worm dung) and then finish filling the Grow Box with Miracle Grow. DO NOT USE THE FERTILIZER that came with the grow box. In the two grow boxes I tried this in I lost more plants and replaced more plants. In the grow box where I did what I told you, I've not lost a single plant. My plants are going great. I would also mix in some Marigolds around your tomatoes, cucumbers, etc. to help keep the bugs away. Good Luck!

An update from you would be good. If you left them in the ground, you should be seeing flowers and foliage soon. I would think that you planted them too late to get flowers in that year, but hopefully they still would have lived.

Sorry to say, I gave up and moved my worms to a flower bed where there is more room for them. Where I live the weather made it hard to keep them alive!

A lifetime ago I took horticulture classes and we were told that putting a plant in a clear plastic tent or small plastic greenhouse (sort of a plant quarantine hospital) and adding an insect strip for a week or so (then it can be wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in a zip type bag with pkg instructions for safety) would get rid of mealy bugs. I know it worked for me and did not harm my plants.

This stuff kills everything. I did not have creature alive after I set it off. Stink bugs, ants, spiders were all dead. These were set off in my kitchen and even insects in the upstairs bedrooms with the doors closed were dead.

I left it in a bowl and nothjing happened. I never had any luck withn it, I followed the directions and even called the vendor. It still died on. I hope you have better luck.

Yes, I spray my plants once a week and recently noticed what looked like a bunch of grains of sand on the floor under the plants. I got out my magnifying glass and the dead bugs had wings and looked like gnats.
